CHINESE REMEMBERING 2010  CONVENES IN LEWISTON

The third annual conference highlighting the influence and
contributions of the Chinese in the history of Idaho and the Northwest
will be held in Lewiston, Idaho on June 24-25. Chinese Remembering
2010
will bring together scholars, teachers and the public to discuss and
understand the history of this little known ethnic group in the
region.
The goals of the conference are to educate, to bring cultures
together,
and to specifically explore and generate interest in the history and
culture of the Chinese in the area. 

Chinese Remembering 2010 will consist of four lectures and discussions
on Thursday, June 24, in the Orchid Room of Morgan’s Alley in
historic
downtown Lewiston followed by a reception with live music, book
signings
and a no host bar at the Lewis-Clark State College Center for Arts &
History. A display of Chinese artifacts from the region will be on
exhibit. On Friday, June 25, interested participants are invited to
journey on a historically interpreted jet boat trip into Hells Canyon
to
sites once occupied by Chinese. Food and refreshments are included.
The
trip is limited to 100.

Registration materials and additional information is available by
